G He looked down into her brown eyes and said D7 Say a prayer for me She threw her arms around him whispered G God will keep us free They could see the riders coming C He said This is my last fight G If they take me back to Texas D7 G They wonʼt take me back alive There were seven Spanish angels D7 At the altar of the sun They were praying for the lovers G In the valley of the gun When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared C There was thunder from the throne G And seven Spanish angels D7 G Took another angel home She reached down and picked the gun up D7 That lay smoking in his hand She said Father please forgive me G I canʼt make it without my man And she knew the gun was empty C And she knew she could not win G But her final prayer was answered D7 G When the rifles fired again There were seven Spanish angels D7 At the altar of the sun They were praying for the lovers G In the valley of the gun When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared C There was thunder from the throne G And seven Spanish angels D7 G Took another angel home
